by Tyler Munro

Hard as it is to believe, AMC’s The Walking Dead is about to start its fifth season this weekend. But what if fans gathered around their TVs on Sunday—or laptop screens on Monday—to find their favourite characters recast? And what if those recasts replaced them with musicians who, in spite of any real acting acumen, look exactly like them?

That’s the idea behind Loudwire‘s new video, which replaces Rick, Carl and all your other favourite cast members with punks, rockers and metalheads. It’s a silly idea, but a quick scroll through our gallery up top will show just how much thought went into it.
